Mitt Romney: The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Today Mitt Romney was pounded by Newt Gingrich (no surprise) and George Will. Why? Because after a contrite concession speech on election night, Mitt is still in campaign mode.

His comments that President Obama won because of “extraordinary gifts” have been pilloried by other conservatives. In an amusing exchange today on THIS WEEK, Newt Gingrich called Mitt’s gift comments “nuts.”

Even more worrisome for the GOP is that Mitt included in his words the fastest growing voting demographic: Hispanics. So far just two weeks after election day, Mitt is the gift a that keeps on giving… to Democrats.
